Hello!My 2-3 months old beardie (8 inches) suddenly stopped eating crickets!I've had Popcorn for almost 2 weeks, so I don't know him very well yet, however, when I first got him he ate crickets like a champ for the first 2 days, stopped for another 2 days (due to relocation stress) than ate crickets up until Friday. What was different on Friday? I tried feeding him calci-worms. And he LOVES them.He has absolutely no problem downing a bunch of calci-worms, but now when I put a dish on crickets in his tank, he's uninterested. He barely even looks at them.I've read that calci-worms aren't a valid staple, as they don't contain enough nutrients and you can't gut-load them. So, how can I get him back interested in crickets?Thanks!

Also, unrelated but I gave him his first bath a day ago, he was so happy! He's currently shedding for what seems like the fiftieth time, and he thoroughly enjoyed being able to loosen some skin.He would roll around in the water, and scratch himself like a dog, before jumping out and rubbing himself about the fake grass to get the skin off. I'll give him another bath tonight, seeing as how much he loved it!

I feel like an a hole now for ordering from rainbow worms, 5 dollars for 100 but 8 dollars shipping!I guess I'm not that far off.

Yeah, with the claci-worms, it's $10 for 150, but $11 shipping! Guess I'll bulk-buy to make the whipping worth-it.

I've been buying about 100g of large BSFL every month or so for Cleo and Caesar (Cleo is the BSFL junkie) and 500x 1/4 to 1/3 size crickets every 2 or 3 weeks ( Caesar and Fluffy live their crickets ).I grow my own silkworms (hatch my own eggs).

Way Cleo and Caesar are growing I'll soon be needing to bump up my BSFL order to 100g every two weeks and move to 1000x 1/3 to 2/3 size crickets every few weeks.Cleo polished off 16 large white BSFL + 2x 1/3 sized crickets for her meal#1 today. (Around 300 BSLF per week) Caesar demolished 14 x 1/3 sized crickets for his meal#1 today.(Around 300 x med crickets per week)
